There are a few decades in film history that have been as scrutinized as the 1980s, but to really understand the decade and its movies, it's going to take a couple of someone's who were there for it the first time around.

Drew McQueenie and Scott Weinberg are ready to review every major film of the decade, one month at a time. The look at what worked then, what endoers now, and how it felt to be there when it all went down. Turn back the calendar with us. It's the 80s all over. I'm gonna have to go back to the hotel.

I'm gonna have to go back to the hotel.

I'm a girl The Soviet Union shot down Korean air flight 007 when it wandered into Siberian airspace, and then the Soviet Union actually admitted they shot it down about five days later. A week after that, the UN voted a resolution to announcing the action as to the United States Congress. And the USSR's response to all of it was to basically shrugging go, and... Malachem Began resigned as Israel's premiere. Arnold Schwarzenegger became a US citizen. Coincidence, you be the judge. Kiss made their first unmasked appearance ever on MTV and the disappointment heard around the world and at the Emmys Hill Street Blues and Cheers cleaned up as best drama and best comedy because TV was freaking awesome in September of 1983 Hi everybody, I'm Drew McQueen. Welcome to 80s all over. I'm joined as always by my co-host Scott Weinberg. What's up Scott? Hi everyone I'd like to clarify something for people who have asked Drew is my co-host. I am not his co-host all right like that is true. All right there's a very subtle delineation there and I hope people get it right. All right I apologize if you've propagated that that then, then you, I accept your apology. Okay. I would like to send out a big virtual hug to all of our listeners, all of our patrons. There are some very cool new bonus episodes up and we will have some very excellent bonus episodes coming up soon, including our first ever live from Cinepocalypse in Chicago

episode. Drew, you excited to take our show on the road with the illustrious Jonah Ray? It's pretty crazy. The idea that we're going to sit on stage and talk about a movie with him. If you had told me when I was watching Mystery Science Leader in the early 90s in my apartment with my buddies, that that would ever happen, I'm sure it's as thrilling to us as it was when Jonah I got the nod to do the show like it's such an exciting thing and then he's gonna do our

format as well he's gonna come on and play that that would ever happen. I'm sure it's as thrilling to us as it was when Jonah got the nod to do the show.

Like it's such an exciting thing.

And then he's going to do our format as well.

He's going to come on and play 80s all over with us, which I'm very excited to see like what his taste is and what kind of films he picks for that. It's going to be great. You'll be hearing a lot more about synapocalypse from us in coming weeks, but thank you to the festival, thank you to music box theater, and let's get on with the show!

I will say I don't know if I full on pull the boner but I will say to Kierdelea fans that I also like black Christmas. Kierdele. Kierdele. Kierdele. Kierdele. Kierdele. I then I also like black Christmas and I think David and Lisa's okay it's fine. So yeah you guys don't have to tell me on Twitter that those two films exist.

I acknowledged that he was in a couple of other good films.

And that's the end of September, 1983.

Drew, this was a good month.

It wasn't that big.

It really feels like it flew by and I am so happy

because it was a mother fucker getting ready.

Oh, oh wait, we did forget a couple of films.

Let's start.
